This package contains time zone description tables which can be used with
the MySQL server by users whose systems do not include zoneinfo files (e.g.
Microsoft Windows, HP-UX).
Attention! Please don't use this package if you system has
includes zoneinfo files (e.g. Linux, FreeBSD, Sun Solaris), please generate the
mysql.time_zone* tables from those files using the
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql utility instead! (Otherwise you may cause a
difference in datetime handling between MySQL and other applications on your
system.)
The contents of these tables were generated from version 2004e of D. Olson's
tzdata package, which is publicly availiable from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/.
